Baptism

Congratulations on choosing to baptize your child into our awesome Catholic Church. Our family of God at St. Martin de Porres Church welcomes you with our love and prayers on this journey of faith.

Baptisms are usually the
3rd Sunday of the month at 2 PM.

Baptism Classes are usually the
2nd Monday of month at 6:45 PM but confirm schedule with Parish Office 714-970-2771 as some may vary.

Baptismal families should be registered members of St Martin de Porres Church or related to members of our church. If registered at another parish, then provide a Letter of Permission to baptize your child here from your own parish.

Godparents must be fully initiated (Baptism, Eucharist & Confirmation) and practicing Catholics in their registered parish. If married, they need to be sacramentally married in the Catholic Church. Only ONE godparent is required, but if choosing TWO they must be male & female.

Parents and Godparents need to schedule and attend Baptism Class at St. Martin de Porres or another parish and provide class attendance certificate. If any have attended a Baptism Class within the last 3 years then you need not repeat if you provide a copy of attendance certificate.

Once all completed documents are submitted to parish office, we schedule your Baptism date.
